Great fresh Maine take-out seafood place. Not really a sit-down restaurant but you can enjoy your food in the back yard on picnic tables or there is an indoor seating area for those rainy days. Great place to take the kids! And plenty of ice cream too!

Heart Pond is the pond you are looking at through the trees when you are at the cottage. It is only accessible for swimming through the public boat launch on the other side of the pond. To get there, when you come from the cottage, make a right onto route 1, and another right after about half a mile when you see Duffy's Restaurant. The road will lead you behind Duffy's and turns into a dirt road that leads to the boat launch. Very nice and private swimming spot!
